Your car is absolutely GOOOORRRRGEOUS!!!
Your car has now made it into my Top 5 of CF list.
I really like the way those colors compliment each other. And the wheels are awesome. :thumbs:

tshort, I bought this car with big dreams and had an image in mind of what I wanted it to look like and after years of saving I finally got to jump into it and make it happen. Thanks for the kind words.

I'm working on getting the rest of the pics hosted and I will post them. It was beautiful here in Tennessee yesterday, so I took advantage of it and took a bunch of pics.

Not bad, Steve (for a DIY vette). :rolleyes:

:jester :lolg: :jester

Well, you've got me beat it time, but I think you'll beat mine in looks, too.
Nice deep color in the photos. I guess I skimmed over any posts on your painting.
Is that Black Cherry ? Maybe I did see it. Al has Black Cherry (I thought), too.

Congrats !! Happy trails .... :seeya

Re: ***Project finally finished*** (Steve Adkins)

Steve,

I just sat there scrolling up and down,... up and down for the longest time. What a beautiful car! I am tempted more than a little to go back to the standard BB hood and squeeze my double pumper under it on the factory LS6 manifold I have in storage. I'm going to have to paint all my hoods (3) because I just can't make up my mind which hood/intake manifold I want to use.

Very, very classy car! The wheels look striking on it. Please post or re-post some of your vital statistics, i.e., wheel and tire sizes, engine configuration, etc.

Chuck
